The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Don't worry, there will be people at home to help you take care of your family when you go to the street office!"

"Go with confidence!"

Jia Zhang was also a person who could get away with it. She immediately stood up from the ground and said, "I don't care about anything else, Shazhu. If you don't pay today, I will smash your windows every day. Do you believe it?"

"I will stop when I have ruined Dongxu's monthly salary!"

This time it was He Yuzhu who was stunned. Could he call the police? It was impossible! This was the old lady of Xiao Qin, the one she had been thinking about.

"Jia Zhang, don't tell me those useless things. Even if you say anything, I won't give you any money!"

He Yuzhu snorted, turned around and walked away, but Jia Zhang rushed over and hugged his thighs, and he couldn't move his legs no matter what!

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming out of the house, He Yuzhu shouted for help! "Uncle, are you still going to take care of it? Look at what Jia Zhang is doing!"

To be honest, Yi Zhonghai came out because he couldn't stand it anymore. If things continued like this, who knows what weird things would happen tomorrow!

"Ms. Jia Zhang, stop making such a fuss. If you continue like this, all the neighbors in Nanluoguxiang will know about your family's joke!"

"I've paid Dongxu's salary for this month. Come to my house to get it later!" Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu who was hiding behind the window of the Jia family with a displeased look, and said what Jia Zhangshi liked to hear the most.

"He's an old man, seriously?"

"Nonsense, Dongxu is my apprentice, I don't care who cares!" Yi Zhonghai waved at Jia Zhang with a gloomy face, signaling her to get out.

"I know that your Jia family has been having a hard time recently. Just come to me and get some money later! Now that you have the money, go out and have some more shopping, and buy as much food as you can! Otherwise, you won't be able to celebrate the New Year properly!"

Jia Zhang was the mother whoever gave her milk, so she got up and went back to the Jia family, leaving He Yuzhu confused. He never expected that Yi Zhonghai would give money to help Jia Dongxu fill the hole!

"Uncle, what about me?"

He Yuzhu is not stupid. Isn't it better to try it first?

Yi Zhonghai leaned over to He Yuzhu's ear with a helpless look on his face, and whispered, "I'll come to your house to look for you later!"

He Yuzhu then walked back home happily. Now that he had money, it was not unacceptable for him to sweep the toilet until the New Year!

"Okay, let's go! It's really cold!" Yi Zhonghai began to drive away the crowd who were watching the fun.

. . . . . .

Front yard, Li's house.

"This old man Yi Zhonghai is really rich!"

Although Father Li didn't know what Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu in the end, he could tell from He Yuzhu's happy expression that Yi Zhonghai had definitely paid for the fine He Yuzhu had been stabbed.

"He doesn't want to pay! The He family and the Jia family have been quarreling for a while, which has driven Yi Zhonghai crazy! If he doesn't pay to settle the matter between the two families now, how can he expect Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age?"

Mother Li said bluntly, "Besides, He Yuzhu has long been on the radar of Old Lady Long in the backyard. If Yi Zhonghai doesn't treat him fairly, there will be no way to deal with him later."

"Mom is right!" Li Ming nodded in agreement. There were at most a hundred people in this damn courtyard, and they were making a fuss every day as if they were dealing with national affairs. It really proved the old saying that a small temple has strong demons and a shallow water has many turtles!

Which household present here could not understand what Yi Zhonghai had just done? Now every household was talking about how rich Yi Zhonghai was!

Li Ming, however, didn't have the heart to continue thinking about the bad luck of these families. The system had just been upgraded, and he wanted to check it out as soon as possible. There was also an upgrade gift package, which he couldn't miss!

"I'm going back to my room and sleep first!" Li Ming said something to his parents and walked towards the second bedroom.

. . . . . .

"System, could you please tell me what's new in this update?"

[Ding, this system update adds a task module, which will trigger system tasks from time to time. The host of the system task can choose whether to accept it.]

[Ding, after accepting the task and completing it, there will be corresponding task rewards. The host can refuse the system task (no penalty). ]

"Ahhh, it's actually just another way to get more resources, right?"

[Ding, yes.]

"So what tasks do you have now?"

[Ding, not yet. The system will make a judgment based on the host's daily behavior, etc., not yet. ]

"Okay, remind me when you have it, and send me an upgrade package. Let me see what's in it."

[Ding, issued! ]

[Ding, does the host need to open it? 】

"Look at you, you're not smart now, you must be open! Otherwise, what do I need him for!"

Li Ming complained.

[Ding, the host has opened the upgrade gift package, and obtained 5 one-click task completion cards and 2 fishing draw times. ]

"What does the mission completion card mean?"

[Ding, use the task completion card to skip the task execution steps and get the reward directly. ]

"Understood! Freeloader!

Li Ming has mastered the essence of freeloading, and he understood it as the system said!

Chapter 116 Yi Zhonghai: Finally my money loss today was not in vain!

"The fishing times can give out rewards. So, will there be rewards like the ones just given out when completing tasks in the future?"

[Ding, rewards are random, including the above rewards. ]

"Open the system panel and let me take a look first."

"Well, I'm satisfied, let's go to sleep. Brother Tongzi, you can leave now!"

-------------------------

Li Ming was in a very happy mood before going to bed, and Yi Zhonghai also welcomed the first debt collector.

When he opened the door, Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhang standing at the door, but his apprentice was not there.

"He's an old man, can you take a look?"

Jia Zhang made an internationally accepted gesture to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and took out the money he had prepared long ago and handed it to Jia Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you in advance that I have paid Dongxu's salary today because he is my apprentice. You take the money back today. I have only one request."

Jia Zhang was very happy to receive the money. She didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to place such a big order. When she heard Yi Zhonghai's request, she nodded repeatedly, "Uncle, you tell me, I will do it for you as long as I can do it."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was so tactful, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction. He was being taken advantage of today just for the main part of the drama that was to follow. Otherwise, could it be that Yi Zhonghai was really stupid?

"From now on, both the Jia family and Zhuzi should move on. We can just forget what happened during this period! We are all neighbors in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. If our relationship gets too bad, it will be hard for everyone."

Yi Zhonghai still had the money in his hand. Although he had handed it to Jia Zhangshi, his meaning was still very clear. If you don't agree today, the money will never reach your hands!

Jia Zhang pondered for a while, "As long as He Yuzhu doesn't harass my daughter-in-law again, this matter can be put to rest! If he continues to do this in the future, then our Jia family will have to deal with him, He Yuzhu, in the future!"

Yi Zhonghai let go of the bill and said, "Okay, I'll tell Zhuzi about it later, don't worry, sister-in-law Jia!"

Jia Zhang happily walked home with the money in her hand. This was good news as she even got her salary in advance.

"My dear, is this okay?" Auntie asked from behind when she saw Jia Zhang leave.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "This is the only way now. After a long time, this matter will naturally pass. But this method is a bit too expensive!"

An old lady patted Yi Zhonghai's arm and said, "Well, this is considered an upfront investment. Anyway, they will still have to provide for us in our old age."

"That's right. Let me go to Zhuzi's house again. I'll finish it quickly, otherwise I'll have to worry about it every day."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Zhuzi has a bad temper, so you better be careful."

"Do not worry."

Yi Zhonghai is very good at fooling brainless people like He Yuzhu, otherwise he would not have fooled He Yuzhu to death in the original drama.

He Yuzhu is definitely much easier to deal with than Jia Zhangshi. Yi Zhonghai still has some confidence!

"Zhu Zi, I'm coming in!"

"Just come in, what else is there to say?"

He Yuzhu came over with a shy face and welcomed Yi Zhonghai into his home.

"Zhuzi, today I'm here to give you a salary bonus." Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu with a smile.

He Yuzhu's big face was so full of laughter that he couldn't open his eyes. "Thanks to you, sir!"

He Yuzhu helped Yi Zhonghai sit down, poured him a glass of water and handed him a cigarette.

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's actions. Of course, it would be even better if Jia Dongxu did the same, right?

"But I have a request, Zhuzi, you have to agree to it!"

Look, when Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi spoke, they were still talking in a negotiating tone, but when it came to He Yuzhu, it was just a notification.

"You tell me! If it's okay, I will definitely listen to you."

"Let's put what happened with the Jia family in the past behind us! We are all from the same courtyard, and it won't be good for anyone if things get too tense, don't you think?"

He Yuzhu naturally nodded in agreement for the sake of money. Mainly because his sister Qin was still in the Jia family, he planned to move on from the matter even if he had no money.

"Don't worry, Master. As long as the Jia family doesn't come to me for trouble, I, He Yuzhu, don't have to make things difficult for them!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, very satisfied. There was nothing else, He Yuzhu always made him feel satisfied. Sometimes he felt that the deaf old lady was right, He Yuzhu was indeed the first choice for the elderly in this compound.

But there is no good solution now. He has invested a lot in Jia Dongxu. Now Yi Zhonghai is reluctant to withdraw his investment in Jia Dongxu!

This sunk cost is too high! However, Yi Zhonghai can still accept He Yuzhu as the second choice for retirement! Isn't it just money? Although Yi Zhonghai is not rich, he still has no problem with money.

"Okay, I've also told the Jia family that as long as you have less contact with Qin Huairu in the future, they won't cause any trouble!"

He Yuzhu could accept this request, but the fact that he had to chat less with Qin Huairu had somewhat hit He Yuzhu's psychological bottom line.

He Yuzhu was silent for a while, "Uncle, I think it's almost time for me to get married. If it's convenient for you, can you help me find a suitable one?"

"Haha, OK, leave this matter to your uncle!" Yi Zhonghai laughed. He could understand He Yuzhu's idea. If you have a wife, you will naturally stop thinking about other people's wives, right? Besides, He Yuzhu entrusted such an important matter of finding a wife to him, Yi Zhonghai. What does this mean?

This means that He Yuzhu definitely regards him as a member of the older generation, which means that the investment potential of the spare tire is huge!

Yi Zhonghai even had his own little thoughts. If he wanted to find a wife for He Yuzhu, wouldn't it be better to find someone who was easy for him to control and could provide for him in his old age?

Even though he lost a lot of blood today, Yi Zhonghai felt it was worth it!

When He Yuzhu saw that Yi Zhonghai agreed, his face was even happier, "Then I'll leave it to you, uncle. Please take care of it for me!

"Don't worry, take the money. I'll go back and discuss it with your aunt right now."

"I'll try to bring you together as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai walked out in a hurry.

"Okay, thank you for your help, uncle!" He Yuzhu was even more satisfied when he saw Yi Zhonghai was so concerned!

Chapter 117 Yi Zhonghai's Plan

"My dear, make me a pot of tea water!"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai returned home, he began to order the aunt to serve him.

An old lady came over with a pot of boiled water. Seeing the smile on Yi Zhonghai's face, which was much better than before she went to He Yuzhu's house, she guessed that something good had happened.

"Why? Did you have any luck over there at the pillar?"

Yi Zhonghai happily refilled his cigarette, "Of course, this Zhu is sensible!"

"Not only did he agree to put the matter behind him with the Jia family, he also said that he would try to have as little contact with Qin Huairu as possible. Most importantly, he asked me to find him a wife!"

"Wow! This is really a good thing, but why did Zhuzi want to find a wife?"

"I guess he couldn't help himself after seeing Dongxu getting married. It's not easy for a grown man!"

"That makes sense. What kind of person do you plan to introduce to Zhuzi?" The aunt looked curious. After all, He Yuzhu was the second choice for the Yi family's elderly care. Now the matter of choosing a wife was handed over to Yi Zhonghai. She believed that Yi Zhonghai already had an idea in his mind.

"I plan to find an obedient one first! Right? An obedient one will be able to take care of us in our old age!
